Taking the Amsoil Plunge

[fnkngrv]

Well I have decided to take the plunge and give Amsoil a shot. I was going to go with a Royal Purple filter and the XPR oil from RP however procuring the filter seemed like it was an online order only product. So for grins I decided to look up Amsoil dealers near Montgomery and got a hold of Bill at All Pro Cars in Prattville. Bill is quite the proponent for Amsoil and seriously scoffed when I mentioned RP. He was involved with NASCAR for 30 years through the 70s, 80s, and 90s. He pretty much staked a replacement engine to me even that the Amsoil filter for the 1NZ which is rated for 15k miles IS viable up to that distance. I am not going to test that distance however I found it interesting how adamant he is on the quality of the product. He even offered to give me a discount on the oil and a filter from Amsoil. I am picking the stuff up this evening and will be performing my change tomorrow afternoon. Since I am not actually racing he said that I would be fine with the Amsoil filter however if I was to actually race the car and be particularly rough on the motor then he recommended WIX because the flow on them is better designed for the type of application like racing. Now I am sure there can be all sorts of discussions on this however his opinion mirrors my uncle which has been dealing with high performance auto applications since the early 60s. The one thing that I do find interesting is that Toyota calls for 0/5w-20 and Amsoil recommends the 0/5w-30.
